2nd & Chestnut Stormwater
*PROJECT COMPLETED OCTOBER 24, 2023*
Project Number: 2018-895
Description of Work: The drainage infrastructure from 2nd St. to 4th St. between Chestnut St. and Spruce St. is comprised of stone arches constructed in the late 1800’s, clay tile pipe, and corrugated metal pipe installed on private property. The entire drainage system is seeing major failures, that include large sinkholes, arch collapse, and pipe failure, due to the age of the materials used.
The project will include the removal of the stone arches, failed clay tile and corrugated metal pipe, curb inlets, and junction boxes. A new stormwater piping system, curb inlets, and junction boxes will be installed, and a detention basin will be constructed. The project will also include the reconstruction of numerous intersections and roadway sections. The sanitary sewer system will be updated with new lines and manholes as needed while the streets are torn up.
